Secret Service So, Carole Cook … What'd You Mean by 'Where's John Wilkes Booth When You Need Him?'
tmz ^ | September 11, 2018

The Secret Service wants to hear from the veteran TV star who thinks it would be a good idea for someone to "John Wilkes Booth" President Trump.

Sources connected with the Agency tell TMZ, Carole Cook's comments to our photog when she left Craig's restaurant Sunday night were enough to trigger an official inquiry.

Our photog asked Cook -- a famous Broadway actress who also appeared on "Dynasty," "Cagney & Lacey" and "Sixteen Candles" -- what she thought about Trump, and she replied, "Where's John Wilkes Booth when you need him?" When our guy asked if she meant Trump should be assassinated she responded, "Why not?"

Our sources say the Secret Service saw our post and are concerned enough that they want a chit chat with the 94-year-old actress. They were quick to add it's not an official investigation -- just due diligence. If the interview unearths anything ominous, only then would it become an official investigation.

Officially the Agency says, "The Secret Service is aware of the comment. While we do not confirm or comment on the absence or existence of specific investigations, we can say we investigate all threats against the President."

A shame was a lady being hanged for being a coconspirator against Lincoln when she just ran a boarding house. Not so for some active participants In a coup attempt in 2018.

Yep, in Boothe’s time actors were nothing more than prostitutes. With exceptions, it holds true today.

And here, all these years, I thought age was supposed to bring wisdom.

This Idiot proves that wrong. Libs truly are retarded.

My dad pretty much said the same thing. He always said “these are people who pretend to be someone else to make a living.”

Newspaper 'columnist' asked: WHERE IS LEE HARVEY OSWALD WHEN YOU NEED HIM?"

I use to post at the Fairfield, California newspaper "Daily Republic" on an occasional basis. They have one local 'columnist' who is particularly odious, even by leftard standards. He once asked the above question. This question was asked after he had made other suggestions that Trump be removed from office 'by any means necessary'. I wrote to the editor to complain, but never got a response and stopped posting.

I peek in on occasions to see if this guy is still as bad as I recall. He is.

His current column is located here if you want to see a real barf-o-rama:

True enough. That was a true travesty of justice.

But I hardly think this particular old dingbat is complicit in the coup attempt.

She’s just a bitter old dumbass has-been who’s candidate got schlonged - ROYALLY - by an AMERICAN Alpha Male Capitalist White Protestant Guy who out-thought, out-maneuvered, out-fought, and out-witted “The Smartest Woman In The World” at every turn and made look like a complete punk-ass chump in the eyes of, like, the WORLD...

Wow... I smile every time I THINK about that... :^)

And do what? It’s not like they will do anything. Madonna thinks to blowing up the White House. Hell Johnny Depp made the Booth analogy when he asked when the last time an actor assassinated a president. And that’s just a couple incidents. Sorry Trump needs to hire bikers, navy seals and MMA fighters and have “tryouts” with the Secret Service. Who ever walks away is security. They are a deep state organization like the rest. Guarantee they would step aside if there was a bullet.

prosecuted….


As with Hillary,Bill,Huma,Comey and more—no one of the Dem side really goes to prison. They’re too famous and big to be jailed.

As to Flynn,Manafort,any Trump family or Trump: at any moment they could lose it all and go to prison for life.
Double standard.

If deserved, she should serve the time. Even unto death!

She should get the exact same “justice” any of us would get doing the same thing.

At the very least, she loses the badge and gun. If you can’t tell your own apartment from someone else’s - on a DIFFERENT FLOOR, mind you - you aren’t fit to be making life or death decisions under State Authority.

Oops.... Wrong post, wrong thread. My bad.

As for the old dingbat - the Secret Service know what is and what isn’t a credible threat.

This one... eh, the threat radar went into “Idiot” Status instead of “Actual Threat”.

Can’t figure out why NancyMax haven’t been sat down hard, by the FBI. It’s obscene what they are saying out loud, against this president, for his uphill fight against corruption and restoring the country to its tradition of honor and ideals.

I remember growing up with the trembles hearing tales of how you could be arrested by men in suits, and much higher up than your friendly corner policeman, for daring threatening harm against a president, or an elected representative, inciting a riot against the government.

We can generally speaking put that notion down as legend.
